CAMom, fwiw, our ds was also very interested in it based on the online movie, we ordered it when it was on sale, ds tried it out once and didn't care for it. I don't know why either! This same ds self-taught himself math via Aleks for several years and loves his accelerated math in middle school.

So - that's my complete non-advice with nothing of merit or worth to even consider, except that not every kid loves it.
